Most fights end up in a clinch or on the ground at some point. If you cannot defend yourself there, the rest of your game does not matter.
Leverage beats strength
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches you to use frames, angles and timing instead of muscle. That is why smaller people can control bigger opponents.
It is safe to train hard
Because submissions are applied slowly and you can tap at any time, you can train at full effort without taking damage — which makes BJJ one of the most sustainable martial arts for adults.
It completes your MMA game
Pair it with wrestling and you control where the fight happens and how it ends.
